I still haven't played L4D! So, to be honest, I have no opinion. I'm assuming it is pretty poor in single player so I'm not going to approach the franchise til I can convince my housemates to get copies. 
Dude, just because they announced it doesn't mean it's going to be out tomorrow. Even if they do set a date, knowing Valve it will most likely get pushed back. People either ***** because sequels don't come out fast enough, or because they come out too fast. What I'm trying to say is stop acting like a little girl... don't worry maybe next year will get that pony.
I would be excited about this and Ep 3, if my PC could actually run L4D or Ep 2 without murdering the framerate. I can play the other Half Life 2's just fine and Portal and TF2 okay to a point, but I lag like crazy on those
I also agree it feels WAY too premature for a sequel just yet, usually because as long-time gamers we are used to utterly DESTROYING a game before moving on to the next one (i.e. completing 100%, getting all achievements etc.) It wouldn't really feel right moving onto the sequel unless I had played L4D to death and got most of the achievements.

Would people stop complaining about Episode 3?
Valve is divided into separate teams. The Half-Life team is working on Episode 3. The Left 4 Dead team is working on L4D2. Them making L4D2 has nothing to do with the progress of Episode 3.

No opinion. I enjoyed ONE playthrough of L4D1, with a friend, and it was great. But I'm not sure how I would have felt trying it more. To me, it had the vibe of Army of Two, one playthrough was great but if you tried replaying it... it just fell flat.
I had only borrowed the game so I cannot say that as fact, so I'm not sure. But I do think it's a bit too soon?

I don't actually mind having l4d and l4d2. Valve has said they aren't abandoning l4d. I also can understand that l4d2 adds so much to the game that it cant just be patched in.
I just think of them as two independent games that are both going to be updated by valve simultaneously (just like l4d and tf2 are both independent games and both updated and worked on by valve).

I'm enveloped in a furious storm of nerd rage, to tell the truth. I don't think anyone was expecting this as it goes against everything we know about Valve. It takes them two years to put together a five-hour expansion pack, and here they are releasing a full sequel after a mere twelve months. That's like if Crysis 2 or something was announced in July 2008 and came out three months later. The problem with such short development cycles is that there won't be much change. Frankly, it seems to me as though everything they're adding in could be contained in an update or an expansion pack, and they don't need a full game right away. The game is still a smash hit and judging by the public's general reception of Valves games it's going to stay that way for several years. It's far too soon for a sequel.
AND WHERE THE F*CK IS EPISODE 3? DAMMIT!

I'm really looking forward to it, and I don't give two shits about HL: Episode 3....
Why does everyone else seem to care about it so much? When it's finally released , it will be maybe four hours long if you're lucky... I'll get far more gaming hours out of Left 4 Dead and it's sequels....

Honestly who really cares, Valve works in its own pardon the pun mysterious way. Honestly Left 4 Dead is a very popular game so Valve decided to speedily make a sequel. Could be for money or for the simple fact that they are Valve and can do whatever they please. Of course it could have been released as DLC but they chose to make it its own game. Maybe its a sign that they'll start updating faster like with the tf2 update. Personally i'm all for the new game and will get it.
I've been waiting for Episode 3 but honestly let valve take as long as they need to bring to a climactic ending that causes our eyes to ooze liquid joy. As long as it doesn't go down the same path as duke nukem forever i'm good to wait.

Yeah I don't get why they announced a new game instead of just DLC. It hasn't even been 1 year.
(Although IMO: Games based upon multiplayer > story games. I don't give a damn about half lifes see saws GRRR )
